The acquisition of PeopleFluent will increase LTG’s talent development and retention expertise, bring social learning and on-demand video technology capabilities, as well as opportunities to manage and measure coaching and mentoring.

Eukleia’s parent company Learning Technologies Group plc (“LTG”), the integrated elearning services and technologies provider, has entered into an agreement to acquire PeopleFluent, a leading independent provider of cloud-based integrated talent solutions focusing on all aspects of the employee lifecycle: recruitment, development, performance and compensation.

The acquisition of PeopleFluent is the Group’s response to the current global requirement for workplace change. According to research by Gartner, by 2022, nearly 80% of organisational skills will have to be reprioritised or revisited because of digital business transformation [1]. PeopleFluent introduces a new range of capabilities required for the workforce of today, enabling Eukleia to work alongside PeopleFluent on the full employee lifecycle with a complete set of products and services from recruitment to pre-induction, onboarding and retention.

Founded in 2010, PeopleFluent provides organisations with cloud-based solutions to power a productive workforce. PeopleFluent’s Talent Productivity Platform unifies a company’s talent acquisition and talent management processes into a single, collaborative workspace that reflects their unique talent strategies, culture, and employer brand.

“We’re excited to welcome PeopleFluent to the LTG and Eukleia family,” said Bill Flind, Managing Director of Eukleia. “Talent development and learning should always go hand in hand, and that natural fit creates a huge opportunity for both companies, enabling us to add significant value for our clients.”

The acquisition will provide Eukleia with access to PeopleFluent’s talent management platform, workplace collaboration software, on-demand video technology, as well as the ability to manage and measure leadership development and coaching and mentoring. Eukleia’s truly end-to-end offering benefits from PeopleFluent’s wealth of knowledge in pre-induction and onboarding, as well as increasing speed to competence.

“I am delighted to announce that we have entered into an agreement to acquire PeopleFluent,” said Jonathan Satchell, Chief Executive of LTG. “Learning and talent are closely aligned, and integrated talent and learning solutions will become vital as the pressure increases on corporates to attract, develop and retain people.”

The acquisition of PeopleFluent will also significantly expand LTG and Eukleia’s geographical reach, particularly in North America.

LTG announced its intention to acquire PeopleFluent to the London Stock Market on Tuesday 24 April 2018, making an offer of $150 million.

Completion of the acquisition is conditional upon, among other things, completion of the Placing, the incremental debt financing being available at completion of the acquisition, all applicable waiting periods (and extensions thereof) under the U.S. Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 shall have expired or otherwise been terminated by the parties, and the Merger Agreement not being terminated, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

Subject to the fulfilment of the above conditions, the Acquisition is expected to complete shortly after the satisfaction of the U.S. anti-trust condition which is expected to take approximately two weeks if the U.S. anti-trust authorities grant early termination of the statutory waiting period, and 30 days or more if early termination is not granted. Completion of the acquisition is therefore expected to occur in May 2018.
